Let me take you back to where it all began |
|
Out there on the fast track |
|
Where the mountains stand |
|
Against the sand... in L.A. |
|
Music every night |
|
Hung-over everyday |
|
I was gonna make the big time |
|
I could feel it in my fingers when I'd play |
|
I woke up in motel rooms under western skies |
|
Living for the summer moon and the party life |
|
There's nothing worse than L.A. days |
|
But those California nights |
|
They barely kept me alive |
|
As the years rolled on |
|
The humor got really dry |
|
If I played that terrible Eagle's song |
|
One more time I thought I was gonna die |
|
The one man good night |
|
Longing to seize the day |
|
That big record deal in the sky |
|
Surely was just a heart beat away |
|
I woke up in motel rooms under western skies |
|
(wester skies) |
|
Living for the summer moon and the party life |
|
There's nothing worse than L.A. days |
|
But those California nights |
|
Oh, they barely kept me alive |
|
I woke up in motel rooms under western skies |
|
When I think of the things I did |
|
On those party nights |
|
It's only by the Grace of God that I'm still alive |
|
I believe God's grace kept me alive |
